B. Pupil Outcomes

State Priority: Pupil Achievement

The SARC provides the following information relevant to the State priority: Pupil Achievement (Priority 4):

Statewide assessments (i.e., California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress [CAASPP] System, which includes the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for students in the general education population and the California Alternate Assessments [CAAs] for English language arts/literacy [ELA] and mathematics given in grades three through eight and grade eleven. Only eligible students may participate in the administration of the CAAs. CAAs items are aligned with alternate achievement standards, which are linked with the Common Core State Standards [CCSS] for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities); and

The percentage of students who have successfully completed courses that satisfy the requirements for entrance to the University of California and the California State University, or career technical education sequences or programs of study.

Note: The 2019–2020 data are not available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Executive Order N-30-20 was issued which waived the requirement for statewide testing for the 2019–2020 school year.

Note: Percentages are not calculated when the number of students tested is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small for statistical accuracy or to protect student privacy.

Note: ELA and mathematics test results include the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment and the CAA. The “Percent Met or Exceeded” is calculated by taking the total number of students who met or exceeded the standard on the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment plus the total number of students who met the standard (i.e., achieved Level 3–Alternate) on the CAAs divided by the total number of students who participated in both assessments.

The SARC provides the following information relevant to the State priority: Parental Involvement (Priority 3):

Efforts the school district makes to seek parent input in making decisions for the school district and each school site

Opportunities for Parental Involvement (School Year 2020–2021)

At Wesley Gaines Elementary School, we value our parents as important partners in the education of our students. Volunteering in the classroom or at school-wide events is encouraged. Parent workshops are scheduled regularly to provide valuable information relevant to our families’ education, health and welfare, nutrition, and self-esteem. Parent meetings are also offered by the teachers, instructional coaches, and counselor to assist parents with ways to support student learning and success both at school and at home. The School Site Council and English Language Advisory Committee hold meetings encouraging all parents to attend along with the elected panels of parents. We have an active PTA which meets once per month to support school-wide events for students.

Note: The 2019–2020 suspensions and expulsions rate data are not comparable to prior year data because the 2019–2020 school year is a partial school year due to the COVID-19 crisis. As such, it would be inappropriate to make any comparisons in rates of suspensions and expulsions in the 2019–2020 school year compared to prior years.

School Safety Plan (School Year 2020–2021)

Wesley Gaines School maintains a Comprehensive Safety Plan. The school safety plan identifies procedures for Emergency Preparedness, applicable Board Policies, and Child Abuse Reporting laws. The safety plan is reviewed and approved each year by the School Site Council and the School Safety Committee. It is then submitted and approved by the Board of Education.

As noted in the safety plan, Wesley Gaines conducts emergency drills every month to ensure that all students and staff are prepared in case of a real disaster. Additionally, all staff receives annual training

Page 15 of 18

on Mandated Child Abuse reporting laws and related Board policies. The School Safety Plan was reviewed and approved on May 28, 2020.
